Aslemn's Custom Maple Stuff

Gah. Is it better like this?

You could try this effect (forgot the name) that drops out some shades of colors and sharpens the shadows for it. Now it looks too blurry for maple monster.

Other than that it's great

EDIT:

Saw the previous attempt.

Then try this tip:
Don't increase the amount of shadowing, but instead, focus on not making too strong shadows. Try to change the saturation of the color just a little bit, so that it is just enough to be noticed, but no more than that. Or even add a little nuance of some other color for it(ofc something that is close to that color though). For example in my avatars hair, some of the shadows are purpleish and some are just bright red. How important this is also depends a bit on the color sheme of the custom.

As for the "Rien mobs in steroids", make the bottom for more flat so it seems like they are actually on ground and not floating.
